Tue, 13 Nov 2012 01:43:50 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=229756#comment-6503526The report I heard on the radio today presented the story as “US to temporarily become the largest oil producer in the world”. My first thought was, “Yeah, until Obama figures out how to fix that.

I can’t believe that a bare majority of Americans are brain dead. But it’s true.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 01:02:09 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=229756#comment-6503467I fully expect EPA to pre-empt regulation of oil and gas fracking, setting itself above the authority of the states, and then to regulate it virtually out of existence.

It will take a new administration to get us out of this mess. Meanwhile, energy prices will skyrocket.

That will no longer make it profitable to put a single fracking well on Joe Smith’s land and do the work of 20 under everybody else’s.

The EPA is, I’m sure, already been given the order to make up several hundred thousand new regulations and fees/taxes to bring oil production to a screeching halt! You heard the Marxist Messiah’s Energy guy say they were going to get the price of gas to European levels. So, get ready for $10 p/gal. gas before 2016!

A shale oil boom means the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer by 2020,

Well there’s your problem! Just like killing gulf oil production, it’s time to kill off the shale boom!

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:36:48 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=229756#comment-6503020Soon, every place anyone might want to drill for anything will be declared a National Landmark….

Yes more ignorance. There is a huge difference between “oil shale” (which is actually a polymer called kerogen locked into the shale itself) and tight shale oil such as Bakken.

You do not frac (it is not frack that is media’s word) this. Instead it is mined like coal, crushed and retorted (like a big pressure cooker with very high heat) condense the vapors into a synthetic crude then refine.

See? If you occasionally leave the conservative cocoon you’ll notice that counter to all the fear-mongering, in real world we’re on the way to energy independence. You’ll also learn many other facts that don’t align well with conservative worldview.

“By around 2020, the United States is projected to become the largest global oil producer” and overtake Saudi Arabia for a time,

Read the article. We will not overtake them by outproducing them. The Saudi’s will be back in the lead when their technology catches up.

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 21:00:30 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=229756#comment-6502975Here is the article about the 68 regulations.

A shale oil boom means the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer by 2020, a radical shift that could profoundly transform not just the world’s energy supplies, but also its geopolitics, the International Energy Agency said Monday.

Well wouldn’t ya know? Another conservative freakout turning out to be a tempest in a teapot.

Obama is increasingly restricting access to federal lands. They just closed 1.6 million acres in Utah.

That means any increases in oil production will be dependent on private or state lands.

There is no reason that federal lands shouldn’t be open. These lands don’t belong to bureaucrats

I hate to seem naive … but don’t federal lands belong to the states?

What’s to prevent states from simply declaring that they’re taking their land back?

darwin on November 12, 2012 at 3:09 PM

Nope. This country is unique in the amount of land that is actually owned by the federal government, especially out west. Majorities of some states are federally owned.

Mon, 12 Nov 2012 20:27:29 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=229756#comment-6502940Think of an energy policy that will cause the most pain and cost the US taxpayers the most money…

… and that is what we will live with until the Democrats are forced out of office.
